Eleanor, my wife, passed away on 24 September after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 65 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $3,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 October. I have already used what I had for the hospital bills. My family is scattered, and many of us are out of work. We want Eleanor to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to the El Paso hospice. Where the $3,600 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $370 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $790 • Funeral home services and casket: $2,440 Thanks for being kind about this. - Kinsley

    Sending good thoughts, Kinsley. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

    • Jocelyn N. Gonzales

      Keep going. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update.

        Hope things get better soon, Kinsley. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
